NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is unspecified, set, or unset
as a gitattribute on that pathname.

OPTIONS

-a, --all
List all attributes that are associated with the specified paths. If this option is
used, then unspecified attributes will not be included in the output.
--cached
Consider .gitattributes in the index only, ignoring the working tree.
--stdin
Read pathnames from the standard input, one per line, instead of from the
command-line.
-z
The output format is modified to be machine-parseable. If --stdin is also given, input
paths are separated with a NUL character instead of a linefeed character.
--
Interpret all preceding arguments as attributes and all following arguments as path
names.
If none of --stdin, --all, or -- is used, the first argument will be treated as an
attribute and the rest of the arguments as pathnames.

OUTPUT

The output is of the form: <path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LF
unless -z is in effect, in which case NUL is used as delimiter: <path> NUL <attribute> NUL
<info> NUL
<path> is the path of a file being queried, <attribute> is an attribute being queried and
<info> can be either:
unspecified
when the attribute is not defined for the path.
unset
when the attribute is defined as false.
set
when the attribute is defined as true.
<value>
when a value has been assigned to the attribute.
Buffering happens as documented under the GIT_FLUSH option in git(1). The caller is
responsible for avoiding deadlocks caused by overfilling an input buffer or reading from
an empty output buffer.
